The New York apple crop, this year is normous. The" crop is .esti mated at 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 barrels. This does not include , the, large amount used in cider-mills, evapora tors and canning factories. Over 1,000,000 barrels will be shipped to Europe, the State being full of Glas gow, Liverpool and Austrian buyers. The announcement that Mr. Car lisle will speak in Atlanta and Macon on the 23d and 24th of January, res pectively, has been received with gratification by the papers through out Georgia. ; At both places Mr. Carlisle wijl be greeted by a great gathering of Georgians. The people are anxious to hear what he has to say on the subject ; of . tariff reform. Quill toothpicks come from France. The largest factory in the world is near Paris, where there is an annual nvoduct of 20.000.000 quills. The factory was started to make quill nens. bnt when these went out of nse it was turned into a toothpick mill. Wooden toothpicks are made principally in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio. . The number of telephones in use in the United States is 341,670, and the gross income from the same for the year 1886 was . $11,150,000. . The expenses were $7,000,000 and the net earnings $4,150,000. The number of "miles of wire is 128,231. Subordinate telephone companies obtain $26.81 net profit per subscriber, after pay ing $14 royalty to the parent com pany and all expenses of the busi ness. Next week there is to be held in Boston a big bazaar to help the cause of woman suffrage. ' Each State providing a table will have half the net gains from the same. The other half will go for woman suffrage work anywhere in the United States. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Lucy Stone and Cora Scott Pond are actively working for the bazaar, over which Mrs.' Livermore WU preside. Washington 4s a great book-buy-ing centre. In a bookstore in that cty one afternoon recently the fol- j lowing well-Known persons were fathered at the same moment: Mrs. Cleveland, Justices Gray, Matthews and Harlan, several members of the Chinese legation, Secretaries Bay ai"d and Whitney, Congressmen French and West and Senators Stockbridge and Edmunds. A curious ending of an ancient vendetta is reported from Britti, ardiriia, where, in the presence of the Archbishop, Prefect and other dignitaries, 670 members of twofam Mes knelt in church, formally fore swore their long-standing feud, and received the prelate's benediction.

The State is under obligations to him for his patriotic work in con nection with the Guilford Hat tie Ground Company, and the work on which we are glad to observe is pro gress! ving to a successful consummation.- Jtidjre Schenck. it will be remembered, contributed a series of articles to this paper, being sketches of some of the principal members of the convention of 1861, and those contributions gained for him an en viable reputation as a polished and vigorous writer. Possessing as he does an admirable private historical library, and with access to all the records preserved, he is in a posi tion to confer a lasting benefit on the State, if his business engage ments shall permit.

Mr. Theo. G. Eger, General Traffic Manager of the Clyde Lines of steam ers, was in our city yesterday and gave us the Treasure of a call. Mr. Eger has always been a warm and earnest friend of Wilmington and has rejoiced heartily at any evi dence showing the prosperity of our city. He was here directly after the great fire of February, 1886, and he is deeply impressed with the appearance of substantial prosper ity which is everywhere manifest. The large new buildings between the railroad and Mulberry street, including the new and enlarged Champion Compress, the magnifi cent structures of Messrs Ale!x. Sprunt & Son, Boney & Harper, and Worth & Worth and other build ings which had sprung ui from a scene of desolation and ruin, were to him evidences of the substantial prosperity of our city. He says that he was told by a gentleman of Charleston, one of the largest cotton buyers in the South, that the com presses of this city do better work than is done anywhere else and that this fact is conceded by others who handle the Ueecy staple. Mr. Eger further informed us that it is the purpose of the Clyde Line to enlarge and improve their freight and passenger facilities with this city, and that they would be all com pleted by the Autumn of 1888. The loss by fire of the Regulator caused the company great inconvenience in the transportation of freight and passengers, but this trouble will be remedied as rapidly as possible, so that no demands of this port can be made on its service that may not readily be filled. The company is en tirely satisfied with the healthy, but quiet, boom which has gotten a good foothold here and are determined to avail themselves of every possible method to give it their cordial and earnest assistance and encourage ment The next entertainment at the Opera House, after The Little Tycoon," which will be given next Friday night, will be given by the Kate .Bedsberg English Opera Com pany on. Monday night, the 26th inst, when "L'Olnbra wiH be pre sented, ' The boys of pur city are very or derly and well-behaved boys, for Christmas is almost here and not a fire cracker have we heard yet.

Chadbourn, Jr., is in the city to-day. Mr. John N. Bowden, of Pender county, was here this forenoon. Mr. C. H. Stevens, of Bladen county, is in the city to-day and gave us the pleasure of a call. Our good friend, Mr. J. W. S. Rob inson, of Sampson county, was in the city to-day and cajled to see us but greatly to our regret we were not in at the time and so missed the pleasure of a shake of his hand. "The Little Tycoon." The comic Opera of "The Little Tycoon," will be given at the Opera House next Friday night by a com pany of 40 Wilmington amateurs. The Opera has been in active re hearsal, under competent direction, for several weeks, and the vocalists and instrumentalists have been se lected from the best Amateur talent of the city. It will, without doubt, be a fine entertainment, well worthy the patronage of our people, and we bespeak a crowded house next Friday night to give our young musical people the encouragement which their efforts deserve. Excursion from Conway. The Wilmington, Chadbourn and Conway R. R. is now open all of the way through from Chadbourn to Conway, 39 miles, and trains are now running on regular schedule. We learn from Mr. JamesJH. Chad bourn, Jr., Superintendent of the road, who is in the city to-day, that an excursion train from Conway to this city will be run on Thursday, the 22nd inst., and that we may look out for a large number of South Car olinians here on that day, as well as many excursionists from Chadbourn and the neighborhood. The party will arrive here on Thursday and return on Friday. , A Tin Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Kidder celebrated yesterday the tenth an uiversay of their wedding day and a large number of invited guests were present last night to do honor to the happy occasion. Many pret ty, unique and valuable presents were received and a great many hearty, congratulations were ten dered, soine in person and others by letter. The 'harpers discoursed some excellent music throughout the evening aud a delightful repast was served to the guests. The Rk viKWr tenders its congratulations and its wishes that the tin may turn to silver, the silver to gold and the gold to a diamond. The Opera House. There was a large audience to give Patti Rose and her company greet ing at the Opera House last night, and to say that they' were all de lighted would feebly 'express their feelings. Patti was just as charm ing, just as vivacious (and just as full of fun as ever, and she was greeted with frequent bursts of ap plause. She kept the la jge audience in the best of hnmor all the time, i and was frequently called before the curtain to receive a perfect ovation of plaudits; a .call to ; whieh she cheerfully and graciously respond ed. , Patti Rosa may always be sure of a good house when she visits Wil mington.

V We called in to see Mr. Fishblate. the King Clothier, on Front street, this morning to get an ad. from him. We found him so rushed with cus tomers and selling goods so rapidly that all we could get out of him was ''come in after Christmas, when I will be able to spare you a few min utes of my time. I will then give you an ad." We had no-idea that he was doiug such an extensive busi ness. We knew he was doing big things, but nothing like we saw to-believ- day and you know seeing is mg, &c. Well, success to him; he It deserves it. City Court. There was a small docket for the Mayor's consideration this morning as the following report of the pro ceedings will show: India Davis, colored, disorderly conduct. Continued until to-morrow morning. Richard Herring, .colored, one of the gamblers who was arrested Sun day morning and was released on bail, was surrendered by his bonds man and locked up. W. B. Gordon was drunk and dis orderly. He hails from down the coast 30 miles and was on his way home, but had stopped to see his sister. Had one drink, but didn't think he was noisy. In fact he never was noisy, but the officer told a different tale. He was told to leave the city forthwith, with a. caution not to be caught here in like condi tion again. Holiday Excursion.
